WAGiLabs are incubators for kids’ ideas.

With our Kidpreneur PlayBook and interactive resources, we empower students by sparking their Curiosity, Compassion, and Courage. The kids identify community challenges, brainstorm ideas, and pitch solutions to improve the world one idea at a time.

We are on a mission to create the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

WAGiKids use Curiosity, Compassion, and Courage to come up with ideas that “do good” to help people, animals, and the environment. We call them Kidpreneurs.

Every WAGiLabs in the U.S. is linked with an international lab.

By pairing these “WAGiWorlds” we create penpals and promote empathy and global perspective in our socially conscious Kidpreneurs.

Learn the WAGiWays

WAGi, our mascot, comes from a long line of creative canines with a mission to do good things.

1
Create a Safe Space

We start by being kind to ourselves and each other.

2
Dream BIG

We brainstorm many amazing ideas – there are no limits to our creativity!

3
Yes, AND...

We always say: “Yes, AND…” when someone shares an idea. That means, “I hear your idea… AND I’m ready to learn more and add my ideas to make it grow!

4
Walk-in Other’s Shoes

We imagine what other people’s lives are like by “trying on their shoes” so we can see the world through their eyes. Having compassion is how we understand the changes that are needed in the world.

5
Do GOOD

We remember to focus on ideas that will make life better for our community and the world.

6
Get MESSY

We build prototypes of our best ideas. We conduct experiments and learn through trial and error.

7
Keep GOING

We never give up. We keep trying to build and sell our ideas, even when we face obstacles. We bounce back and try different solutions when our first try doesn’t work.

8
Play It Forward

We leave footprints that become a pathway to invention for kids around the world.
